Tips / Warnings[]
- Owing to the difficulty of maneuvering a motorbike, it's highly recommended to practice with Suzuki GSX-R750 (which costs only 30,000 or 150) in Motor Blitz first, before taking on the R&D.
- The SuperSport is accessible in Moto Blitz once the event is started, this allows players to practice with the bike.
- Caution is advised for all Gate Drift tests. The short time limit means only a handful of gates can be missed without failing. Forgoing QC's for drift points is recommended.
- The time attack for Lab 48 has the tunnel accessible, a route that is always blocked off in other races modes. Using the tunnel is strongly recommended as the bridge route leaves no margin for errors even with ideal conditions.
- Having a stable connection is recommended before attempting a Time Attack lab as the game can fail to register as having finished the sprint and let the timer run out
Trivia[]
- This is the first R&D event to use Time Attack challenges, a race mode previously exclusive to Championship events
- It is also the first to have non Ultimate AI Challenge labs not have any track QC's.
